Viewing for Late Steelers RB Franco Harris to be Held at Acrisure Stadium
PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers fans and loved ones of the late Franco Harris will gather Tuesday, Dec. 27 for a viewing of the Hall of Fame running back.
Harris passed away earlier this week at the age of 72, just days before the Steelers were set to retire his number at halftime against the Las Vegas Raiders. The team will follow through with their celebration, one day after the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception. Then, on Tuesday, Acrisure Stadium will host the viewing.
According to Tatalovich Funeral Home, the viewing will take place on Dec. 27 outside Gate 1 from 1 to 5 p.m. The parking lot will be open at 11 a.m.
"For those who would like to commemorate Franco, in lieu of flowers, please make memorial contributions to The Pittsburgh Promise at www.pitttsburghpromise.org or the Franciscan Sisters of the Poor Foundation at www.franciscanfoundation.org," the service announcement states.
The Steelers have not yet announced if they will attend the event but chances are they will be part of the memorial.
